Question

The autorishaw fare in a city charged Rs.10 for the 1st km and Rs.5 per kilometre for subsequent distance covered taking the distance covered as X kilometre and the total fare as Rs. y frame a linear equation to find the total cost

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 9 + 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

For 1st km it take Rs. 10

For subsequent kms it takes Rs. 5 per km

Distance covered = X

subtracting first km distance from total distance we get

Remaining distance = X-1

fare for remaining distance = 5×(X-1) = 5X - 1

Total fare, y = 10 + 5X - 1 = 5X + 9
